Ok, we know and agree that freenac isn't in the same league as freeradius.<br>The form of the announcement was a mistake we're now trying to correct.<br>I'm really sorry it hurt you and would like you to formally accept my apologize for this bad communication.

If you want to pay for a feature, then standard business practice is<br>to use a contract. I don't have much nice to say about bounties.</blockquote><div><br>again, wrongly written sentence : bounty-like was to refer to the "no strings" that the result would end up as part of FreeRadius - nothing else.
<br>
Of course, it would be made using a contract (and I also don't really like bounties, for the record).<br><br>Would you be open to implement Microsoft's IF-TNCCS-SOH in that context ?<br><br>dago<br></div></div><br>
